Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Clouds of fragrant white flowers bloom in summer and often in winter amid fine spritzes of feathery palmate leaves on a compact 3' x 3' evergreen shrub — a high resolution plant. Don't let it be overwhelmed by nearby more brazen plants — it deserves its own space...close-by to experience its incredible texture and aroma. From the Whetstone Mountains of southern Arizona, it appreciates drier, well-draining soil.
